I think, BMW (or their motorsport boss) didn't like the feeling, that it was Schnitzer who won the championships rather than BMW Motorsport. So, since 2012 after last DTM title, they gone through hard times.
Also it is clear, that Schnitzer was very much depending on Charly Lamm, and i am not sure, if anyone can replace such a person. Or if the new generation has the same targets and ideas.
Nevertheless it is hard for me to understand, that there might be no BMW Schnitzer Team in Future.
If i were BMW, i would have kept them as part of the Factory for special events etc. Would be only a small invest.
